Thread: 1 Click = 1/4 Min ?

Best way I've ever seen it explained is to work out what 1 MOA is at your target distance, then work it out from there

So let's say 250 yards, 1 MOA is going to be roughly 2.5 inches...

Makes it much simpler to first work it out according to distance, and then divide either the clicks into that length, or to work out how many clicks to go up x inches.

Hope that makes sense.

Yes it does. I only need it if we see something a long way out and range find it then want to take the shot. There ll obviously need to be plenty of time to set up correctly and if not we d always
leave it or move closer. Bit like rabbit shooting at 350 mtrs. It worked if better if you adjusted the right number of clicks to suit the distance. I do have good range finder binocs.
We have chrony so have measured speed and been making these rounds for a while now. Just changing the scope is really the only change. This VX 3 4.5-14 X 40 just has the 1/4 min adj instead of 1/4 inch .
Now that its been pointed out that 1/4 " = 6.35 mm and 1/4 Min = 7.2 I ll just treat as 1 click = 1/4 " and surely that ll be close enough
Should be good now. If its at 200 250 Ill just be shooting it though ..
